ROSEANNE FOR PRESIDENT opens on July 1! Here’s a trailer!

27 years after ROSEANNE BARR’s groundbreaking sitcom “Roseanne” became the #1 show on television, ROSEANNE FOR PRESIDENT! brings you the story of the Emmy Award-winning actress and trailblazing comedian’s 2012 gonzo campaign for president of the United States. Having written and created a sitcom that changed the cultural landscape by revolutionizing what Americans think of family, class, race, gender, and gay rights, Roseanne is uniquely qualified to fix – well, everything.

Through the warped lens of the Barr Campaign, this surreal dark comedy examines the impact Roseanne’s work has had on society and who she is as a person. Fearlessly speaking truth to power comes with a price and Roseanne has taken some bumps and bruises along the way. The movie digs deep into Roseanne’s past, unearthing a personality that even the filmmakers had no idea they would encounter. What begins as a political journey becomes a raw and revealing portrait of a comedic icon.

“Roseanne for President!” follows Roseanne Barr’s 2012 Presidential campaign on the “Green Tea Party” ticket, in which she advocated, among other positions, for the legalization of marijuana and the return of the guillotine as capital punishment. Barr’s campaign received a divided response from the public, with some claiming that it was a publicity stunt approaching performance art, while others argued that it was a genuine attempt to reach the highest office in the country. She eventually lost to candidate Jill Stein, but Barr later announced she would run on the Peace and Freedom Party. By the end of her campaign, Barr received over 65,000 votes nationwide.
